Re: Boston - a - ments
[ QUOTE ]
Boston is a bit of enigma as a city. [/ QUOTE ] Totally agree... I was very confussed everytime I visited the city to stay with my girlfriend [ QUOTE ] We have an incredible set of colleges and universities, which I think sets a tone where education and intellectualism and culture are very important. [/ QUOTE ] i.e. I hope to god you're not a Republican... if you are... don't bring it up in a bar... you'll probably be hung [ QUOTE ] We have an awful lot of old money and blue blooded families, who kind of give off a inflated sense of self-importance to a lot of the city/state. [/ QUOTE ] I agree [ QUOTE ] Despite the fact that Boston is a 'major' city, it's also fairly unique as a very walkable American city, which gives it a very European feel. Only a couple other US cities are like this, one of which is NYC which is so gigantic that it really doesn't feel 'walkable' (which is kind of unfair imho). [/ QUOTE ] totally agree... this is the one thing I loved about the city. It was fun to walk from bar to bar as you pass by and building that also has amazing historical significance. Very cool [ QUOTE ] Property values are extremely high, basically b/c there is none left. People have been leaving MA b/c of this. There are lots of very nice exurban and suburban places to live - some of the best in the country I think - but you'll pay. [/ QUOTE ] Welcome to most of the over-populated cities in America... not much different in L.A, NY, Chicago, et. al. [ QUOTE ] there are lots of great beaches and summer vaca spots, as well as skiing in the winter. the fall has beautiful weather. [/ QUOTE ] Fall was beautiful and great for being out-doors. Coming from CA, the beaches are a joke. [ QUOTE ] the pro sports culture here is 2nd to none, if that's your thing. [/ QUOTE ] maybe 15 years ago... but with the Pats and the Celts on the decline... i don't know that it's exactly the same as it used to be. P.S. If you move out there... PM me... maybe you can go sleep with my ex-girlfriend... I hear I turned her into a bit of a floozy.

Re: Boston - a - ments
The weather and chicks are so much better in San Diego. Also, you're stuck with Foxwoods if you want to play live legally. I have no idea why you'd want to live in Boston instead of San Diego. It's not even that much less crowded or cheaper than San Diego.
The only benefit I'd see to living in Boston is if there were some kind of career opportunity for you there, which does not apply in your case.

Cause the early 90's Celts and Pats were full of tradition? The Pats and Red Sox are certainly in much better shape, but I don't really follow Hockey or Basketball.

Re: Boston - a - ments
1) LOL at Pats being on the decline.
2)I'm from Boston and live in a really nice place with hardwood floors, central air, pool, parking, for $1000/month. 3)Move to Allston/Brighton/Brookline and have sex with tons of BU/BC girls.

Re: Boston - a - ments
You need to explain WHY you are moving to Boston. All of these replies are worthless because in a heads up match, San Diego wins obv. However Boston is a pretty sweet city to live in if you are young and if this is your only chance, I would take it...you can live in San Diego when you are older and can't deal with cold anymore.

Re: Boston - a - ments
1k a month/person is plenty to get a decent 2BR in Boston. Some things to consider though:
having a car is a pain in the as in this city (parking, potholes, expensive insurance etc) closest live poker is an hour and 45 minutes away Bars close at 2AM Public transportation stops running at like midnight or something Theres college kids everywhere The weather can be brutal I still love it here though, although I have never lived anywhere else in my life. I have never heard of someone moving here to become a poker pro though.

More details
Hey I posted this quickly on my way out the door, I'll give some more details:
I grew up in NY, so I'm used to the east coast weather/ people/ etc. I'm currently in school at UCSD, but I'm leaving for poker at the moment. Don't turn this into a "stay in school" thread plz, I can do this comfortably. I'm going to be playing primarily online. I'm not even 21 until Oct, so casinos aren't a big factor.
